The current part of my life is probably the most depressing part.
Almost all the people in my friend circle works in big IT firms and bagging 40-50LPA packages. One even have 70LPA. Even their wives make more than 30LPA.

While I am stuck in a mediocre job. I make around 20LPA. While my wife makes 10LPA.

My wife constantly naggs about this to me. I am not able to match their lifestyle when I hangout with them. I feel low.

I am very afraid that I will be able to provide a better life to my kid.

Well... before career...you guys need to work on your relationship and understanding between you both.

Make sure your home is in order before you are planning to conquer the world.

P.S. I am nobody to comment and I apologize if it hurts you.

Your 70LPA friend will  be thinking about his 2cr package friend. Humans are never gonna satisfied when it comes to money. Just make your current life simple and happy.

Feeling sorry for you dude, if your wife doesn't find happiness in 20LPA, then she will never be even happy with 2 Cr.
Happiness is an internal function, if it depends on LPA, forget that you will ever become happy.

O Bhai life mein jo Mila hai us'se satisfied rahna chahiye. Life mein family ke sath 2 roti mein Khushi milti hai to vo us 70 LPA wale se much better hai jo apni family ko bhi time na de paate.

Remember always, life ek baar milti hai aur esme ye Paisa yahin ka yahin rah Jana hai. Kamao itna ki 3 time ki roti aur Khushi mil sake life mein.

Jyada Paisa bhi sehat ke liye hanikarak hota hai kabhi kabhi grin

I am not able to match their lifestyle when I hangout with them.

Care to share what you are missing? Eg. do they come in rolls Royce and you in a WagonR?


One’s life is successful if he is happy. You can be unhappy at 70LPA or 20LPA. Money doesn’t matter always, peace in life does. 


Your problem is not salary but less satisfaction in what you are getting. It’s obvious that you and your wife are unhappy, I would suggest you guys to do proper counselling. Cherish some things you both like, maybe reading good books or watching uplifting movies or an outing.


And stop that social media in take. They will depress all.

Great advice from fellow dimers about being content and talking to your wife. Another similar advice, which I didn't see anyone share, is to probably reconsider your friend-circle. May be hang out with more humble / less LPA earning friends. Or suggest places / itineraries which fit your budget.

An entirely opposite advice is this - the only way you'll get to 40-50 LPA or even 70 LPA is by switching jobs every few months or years. Put your resume on job portals or have your friends refer you in their companies. See if you get called for their interviews and clear them. If you get rejected try and figure out what went wrong. Then work on that before appearing for the next interview.

Depression is inaction. Only action through either of the above options is going to take care of that.

P.S. - I am curious to read the job description of this 'mediocre' job that pays 20LPA.

Somewhat relevant to this post -
The other day I read about 17 lakh applications for 17.4k openings as Maharashtra Police constables. Their salary is around 4.8LPA.

https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/jobs/gover...

While constables are seen lazying around with portly stomachs in reel life, in real life, it is a really hard job. We all think that 26th Jan, 15th Aug, Holi, Id, Diwali, Christmas, New Year and other regional 'holidays' are our birthright and how dare anyone expect us to work on those days but these fellows have to work the longest on those days.

No chair to seat

No place to eat

No fixed  duty hours

No fixed workplace daily and continuous movement

Low subpar salary most of them on loans

Suffer all weather conditions

Then they try to get some extra out of pocket expenses to manage things

Keeping up with the lifestyle? Bro that’s 90% show off and you know that… that’s a brutal competition where you earn more, spend more on wants rather than needs…

Focus on your personal growth. You’re earning a good amount trust me, skill up and switch jobs. But for your potential growth not to catch up with frnds. Live a healthy happy life… cheers

Bro ... Forget the package for a while... Its just lifestyle needs that you are comparing. Try be happy and enjoy life with your family... 20l is good for an avg Indian unless you have burdened yourself with loans to showoff lifestyle . Above all health is wealth, don't spoil it with these depressed thoughts!!

Where are you from? If Delhi/NCR let's catch up.

I will ask my friends to meet you, most of these guys earn in 4-7lpa year and living happily with wife and child. I don't understand why you are depressed, it might be jealousy that your friends are earning a lot more and enjoying life better than you.


Remember: the more rich you are, the more fake your lifestyle becomes. IMO if we get enough food and all our requirements without any struggles, fight, we should thank god for everything. In India, people are not even getting food for a day and you are depressed cause your friends are earning more than you.


What if one of that friend gets heart attack and died on the spot, will that money make any difference to him? Live the life for today whatever you have and than you will realize the income you are earning is enough.

I agree to some extent.

We cannot buy happiness using money, but money do makes our life easier.

Sleeve up and start working at least 15 hours a day, part time, full time what not.
Money is important in life. 90% of the problems will be resolved automatically with money.

You may not enjoy family life but at least your next generation will enjoy.
